: :  <?php
: :   $number=rand();
: :  
: :  ?>
: :  
: :  For JavaScript:
: :  <Script>
: :   var num = "<?=$number?>";
: :  
: :  </script>
: : 

: :
: : The quotes just make sure that there isn't a syntax error if $number contains nothing (in this case it should always have something, but not for all instances is $number guaranteed to have anything).

: Unfortunately following does not work.
:

<?php
: 	$number = rand();
: ?>
: 
: <script language="javascript">
: 	var num = <?php $number ?>
: 	document.write(num)
: </script>

: It says "undefined".
:

Then this suggests two possibilities.

1. PHP does not allow $number to be accessible across data islands (which to me sounds almost impossible)

2. The value returned from rand() when assigned to $number is undefined.

Either way, this is starting to sound like a problem with PHP rather than JavaScript q:)

It's definately possible with Perl and ASP, so I can't see why it wouldn't work!
